Kids say the Darnedest things

Kids say the darnedest things, especially in my household. I have kids ranging from 13 down to 2. It's funny what they say sometimes. Here are some recent conversations I have had with my kiddos. Keep in mind their ages when reading what they have to say.

From the 6 year old:

E.: "R. come play with me upstairs. "R: "No, I want to play my DS right now. "E: "Please, come on."Mom: "E, I’ll play with you. Let’s go."E: "No, I want to play with someone cuter."

E: "Dad, why does that car have a tire on the back of the trunk."Dad: "So they can have an extra one just in case something happens to one of their 4 tires."E: "Does, everyone have 5 tires?"Dad: "Yes."E: "Where’s your fifth tire?"Dad: "It’s in the trunk."E: "How does it fit?"Dad: "It’s a smaller tire."E: "Smaller than the other 4 tires?"Dad: "Yes,"E: "Will it blow up to size when you put it on the car?"

From the 4 year old:

Mom: "R, what do you want for breakfast this morning? Cereal?"R: "No, I want pork chops and squash."Mom: "For breakfast?"R: "Yes, I LOVE your squash and pork chops and Mom, I want rice too!"

From the 13 year old:

Mom: "J, do your homework."

J: "I'm a kid and I'm supposed to be having the time of my life and you are making me waste it."Mom: "You need to pick up your grades by doing your assignments."

J: "Please stop invading my privacy by looking at my grades. They belong to me and you have no right to look at them"

Mom: "Find me another parent that thinks checking your grades is a bad idea and I may reconsider."

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a crafty bargainista. I love finding a great bargain, whether it be getting a great deal for something I want or creating my own version of it. In this blog, I hope to share the things that I have found, the many ideas that wonder around in my head and the many things that I end up creating.
I love the dandelion because with a single gentle breeze, it disperses into the wind only to regrow into a new dandelion. That's very much like knowledge. A single person that shares their ideas may end up enlightening many many others.
